Greenbacker Renewable Energy Company LLC Acquires a 10.0 Megawatt Wind Farm in Vermont
Greenbacker Renewable Energy Company LLC announced today that on December 21, 2017, through a wholly-owned subsidiary, it purchased Georgia Mountain Community Wind LLC (“GMCW”) located in Chittenden and Franklin Counties, Vermont for approximately $25,100,000. GMCW was the first commercial-scale wind project in these counties. This four-turbine, 10 MW project, which was originally developed by two local Vermont business owners, sells all of the power, as well as the Renewable Energy Credits, to the nearby Burlington Electric Department through a 25-year fixed-price power purchase agreement. The facility originally commenced operations on December 31, 2012 and has been operated continuously since that date.
